The article presents the content of the programmatic and methodological complex of speech therapy support for young children with cerebral palsy. A systematic theoretical-empirical analysis of the state of speech therapy support for young children with cerebral palsy in Ukraine was carried out. Modern data as a result of an in-depth study of the state of speech therapy support for a young child with cerebral palsy confirm the significant problems of organizing and providing support for these children. Children with cerebral palsy are unequivocally children of the "logopedic risk group" who need immediate inclusion in the process of speech support and coordination of each child and his family, without losing the potential of an early age. We believe that the organization of speech therapy support for a young child with cerebral palsy can ensure the needs of such a child for maximum development and soft speech integration in the conditions of the modern educational space of Ukraine. A new design of speech therapy support for children with cerebral palsy is presented. We deepened the concept of support, taking into account the multifactorial nature of cerebral palsy and taking into account the peculiarities of the child's development at an early age. In the article, we present and define the main directions of the programmatic and methodological complex of speech therapy support for young children with cerebral palsy and their content. The algorithm and conditions of speech therapy support (complex diagnosis,  spatial speech therapy, interdisciplinary team) of the specified category of children are presented.

Key words: young child with cerebral palsy, speech therapy support, program and methodical complex, comprehensive diagnosis, speech therapy, interdisciplinary team.
